PS Now has added Battlefield 4, Dead Space 3, NBA 2K18 and more titles to Sony's game-streaming service in March 2019.

So far, Sony Interactive Entertainment is doing well with their cloud-based monthly gaming service PlayStation Now and stepping into March, a load of new games are being added to their already extended library of more than 750 games.

Their impressive collection of games are ready to stream and over 275 games are available to play on or even download to PlayStation 4. If you still own a PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3, you can still enjoy a lot of great titles they are offering.

Our pick for recent PS Now lineup starts with basketball simulation title NBA 2K18 from developer Visual Concepts. The experience of playing as NBA stars with improved animation and try out different in-game modes were never been better than this.

Wrestling fans can get excited to see the next game in line, which is WWE 2K18 and the latest in WWE game series. Superstar roster of the game has been improved over years and you can now fight your way to WrestleMania if you always had a dream of.

Other notable titles joining the fray this month on PS4 are A Bastard's Tale, Black Mirror and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2. All of these games mentioned above are open to download to your devices or simply stream right away.

Whereas Battlefield 4 takes players to 2020 for an intense FPS action, Dead Space 3 will offer a new depth in survival horror genre and lastly, MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots sets you up for an action-adventure stealth experience with a battle-worn Solid Snake.

To celebrate 25th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls franchise, PS Now can get on board with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion or enter the MMORPG world of Elder Scrolls Online in preparation of upcoming Elsweyr expansion upgrade in June or next week's Wrathstone DLC.

Considering so many great titles the service is offering now, signing up for a PlayStation Now membership would probably be worth it and there is always a 7-Day Free Trial to give it a test run to see if it excites you to be a new subscriber or not.

Guerrilla Games celebrates the second anniversary of Horizon Zero Dawn and share development fun facts.

Developers at Guerrilla Games knew that they are up to something good after completing 2017 action role-playing game Horizon Zero Dawn and early feedback also backed that idea but they never really expected to receive so much appreciation in return.

As of today, the entire studio staff is currently celebrating the second anniversary of its release and now has become one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games by selling over 10 million copies worldwide by February 28, 2019.

In two years, players have many fun experiences and memories taking on protagonist Aloy's journey in HZD. On the year of its launch, the game was one of the most talked over title in 2017 and for all the right reasons.

In celebration, the studio offers to share some of their development details for HZD all of which helped to shape the game. Right after they finished working on Killzone 3, the Intruder pilot Jammer from the game becomes an early prototype model for Aloy.

They began playing with gameplay elements back in 2010 and were having a tough time finding a suitable facial mock-up for Aloy but help came from Conversation Director Jochen Willemsen when he suggested Dutch actress Hannah Hoekstra for the role.

Sound design department was literally looking for needles in haystack listening over to more than 750 bird sounds and choosing only 30 to include in final cut. Different machines making various sounds defined their unique character as they mixed animal sounds to add natural vibes.

After initially mentioning the project briefly back in 2014, Horizon Zero Dawn was announced back in E3 2015 and has become the biggest project Guerrilla Games took on for publisher Sony after their successful stint on Killzone series.

PlayStation Plus free games lineup has picked up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witness for the month of March 2019.

February is almost over and we are about to step into March with expectation for exciting new games on PlayStation Plus. Given what we have on plate for this month, subscribers would be real happy for what they are getting into or at least one title.

Sony Entertainment treated PS Plus members with melee action title For Honor and stealth action-adventure game Hitman of 2016. Picking up from the high note they left behind, March 2019 delivers another title that many fans would appreciate.

Modern Warfare Remastered offers the authentic Call of Duty experience in full HD and playing it on a PS4 Pro system lets you enjoy the game in dynamic 4K display. Raven Software was in charge of newly added graphical enhancements and did a splendid job in overall.

The next one is a 3D puzzle platformer titled The Witness from developer/publisher Thekla, Inc. This game is visually stunning on too many levels to captivate the audience and already received critical acclaim for being a masterpiece.

Players ventures into the in-game world of a nearly deserted tropical island with a first-person perspective and keeps connecting dots to a series of interlinked puzzles. Aside from some satisfying narrative twist, it offers a unique sense of satisfaction for solving mysteries.

The Witness on PlayStation Plus Free Games

These two titles would arrive at PS Plus on March 5 for members to download from PlayStation Store and remain there until April 1, 2019. Other free games that PlayStation Plus offers for their subscribers are Divekick, Gunhouse, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Rogue Aces.

Since Sony decided not to continue offering PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games according to an announcement from last year, the above-mentioned titles will available until March 8 so that you can still add them to your library if you haven't already.

Any PS3 and PS Vita games added by members before March 8 of this year will still be available to download and play as long as you continue your PS Plus membership. Game saves on your respective PS system will remain the same along with some other basic perks.

You might also feel interested to check out Yakuza Kiwami 2 to enjoy 40% off against your PS Plus membership. Also, remember that Hollow Knight and Just Cause 4 are 50% off as well up until March 5, 2019. So, you better hurry up to get the discount.

Though the hype for this PlayStation 4-exclusive action-adventure title has been died down a little after the five months of launch and people are being ready for new games in 2019, Sony decided to offer a big discount on the title and took $20 off permanently.

Bringing the price down to $39.99 for Spider-Man on PS4 is not something new that the company has done. During Black Friday of 2018, the game was discounted by the same amount and was also given away with a limited edition Spider-Man PS4 Pro Bundle.

However, this permanent price drop on one of the best games of 2018 can cause a small spike on the sales number once again. Many fans who waited for an occasion like this would probably reach out their controller now to go swinging in New York as Spidey.

Within the month of its release, Marvel's Spider-Man managed to become the fastest-selling PS4 game ever and even earned more than the opening weekend of Spider-Man: Homecoming movie by selling over 3.3 million physical copies.

Primary premise of the game is of course of a global pandemic that wiped out a large number of humankind and it forced Deacon St. John to struggle in a ravaged world just like any other survivors out there but beside that, something else motivates him to go on.

Many people lost their relatives and loved ones during the spread of the deadly disease that turns people into feral cannibalistic creatures. Almost all the survivor has memories from that forgotten past and they move on carrying the burden.

Before everything went downhill, Deacon met a girl named Sarah Whitaker from Seattle and they fell in love, which eventually led them to tie the knot in a small church of Marion Forks with his long-time friend William "Boozer" Gray as the only witness.

With her unique charm and care, she has soften him up from a nomad biker into a loving husband, so much so that he left behind his longtime ties to Mongrel Motorcycle Club in a pursuit of living a new life together for as long as they could.

Two years have been passed since and Sarah is long gone, leaving John to go out as a bounty hunter with nothing but a photo of her to remember by. He goes to the same church on a rainy night briefly reliving those memories but only to be ambushed shortly.

It's really nice to see that Bend Studio has given their mercenary protagonist such a back-story with an emotional depth that makes players care for him and this will make fighting for survival in an apocalyptic landscape all more worthwhile for most people.

After long delays and waiting, Days Gone is finally launching on April 26, 2019, for PS4 and the game looks even better and more interesting with each video Sony drops about it. Set into an open world environment, the single player game promises at least 30 hours worth of playtime.

PS Now has added Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Mortal Kombat X and more to Sony's game-streaming service in February 2019.

February 2019 marks for a great new lineup of video games on PlayStation Now game-streaming service from Sony Entertainment as they have just added a slew of new games to their ever growing library of games to play on your consoles.

Players on PlayStation 4 can get their hands on more than 275 games to download on their device or simply stream directly from an overall collection of 750 titles. Even if you are on a PS2 or PS3, there are still some titles you can enjoy.

Since upcoming Mortal Kombat 11 is a direct sequel to this title, long-time series fans can utilize the opportunity to catch up with their favorite warriors and to hone their fighting skills for a flawless victory in the arena to save Earthrealm.

First-person shooter series Metro drops their newest title Metro Exodus February 15, 2019 and what better way to catch up to previous video game adaptations of Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels? Metro: Last Light Redux could be a great start of your journey into post-apocalyptic Moscow.

Other entries to join PS Now lineup this month are PS4 games Earth Defense Force 4.1, F1 2017, Magicka 2, Pillars of Eternity and Rebel Galaxy. Don't feel left out if you are on PS3 because Battlefield Hardline and Need for Speed Rivals are joining too.

PlayStation Plus free games lineup has picked up For Honor and Hitman: The Complete First Season for the month of February 2019.

If 2019 has been a great start for all of you PlayStation Plus subscribers, then Sony Entertainment has some more good news for you. New free games lineup for February is up and this one looks even better than the one they announced for January.

Last month, PS Plus members had their fun with extreme sports game Steep and survival action RPG game Portal Knights. Although they were a pretty decent start for a new year, lineup for this month definitely got a whole lot better for sure.

PlayStation Plus Free Games For February 2019

We will get into what we have in store in upcoming PS Plus lineup but first, let us take a brief look at the announcement video first.

We have melee action game For Honor from developer/publisher Ubisoft, a game that lets you to be knights, samurai and vikings in a medieval setting. Pick a character from any of the three different factions, divided by four classes with unique fighting skills and styles.

More free games that join the PlayStation Plus lineup includes the following titles and will be available until March 8, 2019.

Divekick (Cross Buy with PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita)

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PlayStation 3)

Gunhouse (Cross Buy with PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4)

Rogue Aces (Cross Buy with PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4)

We would like to give you a friendly reminder that PS3 and PS Vita games will no longer be a part of PS Plus monthly games lineup after March 8, 2019. It would be wise for you to add them to your library to keep them into your collection as long as you are a member of the service.

Also know that Sony has already expanded cloud storage space of PlayStation Plus from 10GB to 100GB for all of their subscribers. PS4 console owners can now worry less about their save games with this newly allocated space to store them in.

PS Plus cloud storage gives members the freedom to save more of their game progress as well as character profiles on the system. Whenever they switch over to another system, they will not have to fear of losing any progress that way.

If you have finished rounding up New York City in his iconic red and blue suit alongside tons of other versions that was introduced to the game so far, then it is time for you to try out some new suits, two new Fantastic Four-themed suits to be specific.

Wondering what Fantastic Four and Spider-Man have in common? Well, ever since the Wall-Crawler debuted as a hero in his teens, he tried to join "World's Greatest Family" showing off his talent but only ended up fighting them instead.

The family of four has teamed-up with the Webhead on multiple occasions and was even featured in many mini-series of their own. One of the writers of the game, Christos Gage (Thunderbolts – Secret Invasion, World War Hulk – X-Men) has penned one in 2010 titled "Spider-Man/Fantastic Four".

In Amazing Spider-Man #258, Spidey goes to Fantastic Four headquarter seeking help to get rid of the alien symbiote he was wearing as a costume, which later eventually became Venom. They were successful of getting rid of the suit but he was left only in his underpants.

Spider-Man had to borrow one of their costumes but since they don't have masks, the Human Torch had to improvise an idea to conceal Peter Parker's secret identity and he gave him a grocery bag to wear, thus came the identity of the Bombastic Bag-Man.

Then there was another instance following "Big Time" story arc, when the Wall-Crawler joined the team for real but then they were calling themselves the Future Foundation. This time, Spidey wore a slick-looking black and white costume.

Now, players can simply fancy themselves wearing the Bombastic Bag-Man and Future Foundation suits in Marvel's Spider-Man with the release of patch 1.14 on PlayStation Network. With the Fantastic Four returning to Marvel Comics once again, these new suits came just in time.

According to listing of the game on Best Buy, Hideo Kojima's long-awaited title Death Stranding maybe releasing in 2019.

During mid-November 2018, a Brazilian website suggested citing an anonymous source that we are about to get an official release date for upcoming action game Death Stranding by video game legend Hideo Kojima at The Game Awards 2018 event.

Unfortunately, that never happened as the man himself announced on Twitter that he couldn't make it this time. However, social media was curious for any clues regarding the release date and according to Best Buy, the game is coming in 2019.

Developer studio Kojima Productions never announced an official release date but a recent image from retailer outlet Best Buy discovered on social news aggregation site Reddit states that the game will be available in 2019.

Even if the listing is to be taken seriously, we are still in the dark about exactly when it is going to drop because aside from a release year of 2019, it has nothing else. The only reason we take this leak seriously because of Kojima also teasing of launching it this year.

In an interview with video game magazine Famitsu back in December 2018, he asked whether 2019 is the year of the Whale, even though it actually is the year of the pig. Since people saw whales in the promotion of his game, they have reason to believe this to be a tease for a launch date.

What we are estimating right now is that we may get another look at it at E3 2019 with more footage and then finally releasing the game within the next few months after that, most possibly somewhere around October. Nothing is set in stone though.

Action oriented Death Stranding is an upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive title from Kojima Productions and Sony Entertainment that was revealed back in 2016 and is considered as one of the most-anticipated video game titles ever.

Now that we are slowly nearing to the launch with only three more months to go, the creators of the game has decided to announce details on different special edition they planned and shed some light on pre-order bonuses to help players make better purchase decisions.

Pre-Order Bonuses
Reserving your copy in advance will grant you a voucher that unlocks Drifter Crossbow and other upgrade packages Gas Tank, Nitrous and Shroud for your drifter bike. At the early point of the game, these will help you survive better from the odds against you.

Either you can place your pre-order at your nearest retailers or own it digitally from PlayStation Store, which will get you an exclusive Sawmill Dynamic Theme featuring protagonist Deacon St. John against a horde immediately.

Special Editions
Of course there would be a Days Gone standard edition aside from a Collector's Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition. The former comes with digital and physical 48 page mini artbook, original soundtrack, sew-on patches and six collector pins alongside the base game.

There will also be a steelbook case and an awesome statue of Deacon sitting against his bike next to a dead Freaker. The Digital Deluxe Edition will feature almost all of that except for the physical items like patches, pins, statue and steelbook.

Bend Studio and Sony Entertainment has clearly took their time to improve and polish aspects that they deemed necessary to make the game more appealing and giving PS4 fans the best immersive experience of a world where you are always on the run for survival.

The world of Days Gone plans to pit you against some of the most unique enemies like human marauders and mindless Freakers on harsh setting, situations where the bonus upgrades may come in handy and you are thankful that you had them with you.

PS Now has added Prey, Project Cars 2 and more titles to Sony's game-streaming service in January 2019.

We are more than a week into January 2019 and PlayStation Now game-streaming service has added nine new games to their New Year lineup, courtesy of Sony Entertainment. The ever growing library of the cloud-based gaming service is just getting bigger.

In a massive collection of over 700 streamable games, players on PlayStation 4 can now get their hands on over 275 games for their consoles that they can either download to their devices to play later or directly stream at will.

Leading the top of the list is a 2017 first-person shooter game Prey from developer Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda Softworks. A spiritual successor to System Shock, the game follows the adventures of protagonist Morgan Yu on board space station Talos I.

A science experiment gone wrong has ruined the station and Yu is now being hunted down by horrific aliens. Although he has some pretty awesome mind-bending abilities, there is an arsenal of unique and deadly weapons in his disposal to survive the onslaught.

Considering upcoming FPS title Metro Exodus is only a month away from release, you can simply take a tour of post-apocalyptic Moscow in Metro 2033 Redux to freshen up memories. Japanese action game God Eater 2 and tower defense game Lock's Quest looks like a lot of fun as well.

With so many exquisite games available for download and local play feature enabled; this may be a great time for you to try out the 7-Day Free Trial for PlayStation Now. Of course, this trail offer is valid for new subscribers only as the current members are enjoying their subscription already.

Christmas is over and so is 2018. So, nearing the edge of the year, Sony Entertainment came up with new free games lineup that is coming soon in January 2019 for PlayStation Plus subscribers to celebrate the New Year.

We previously thought that the October 2018 lineup was bad with Friday the 13th: The Game and Laser League but last month, we changed our minds when we saw PS Plus including games like Soma or Onrush for November 2018, because that just made it worse.

PlayStation Plus Free Games For January 2019

Before taking a just jump at the upcoming PS Plus lineup, let's take a moment to look at the clip below showcasing all the titles for January 2019.

The first entry on the list is an extreme sports game Steep from developer/publisher Ubisoft that came out in 2016. The premise is set on the Alps and the massive open world environment it featured was inspired by Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

So, paraglide, ski, snowboard or wingsuit your way to a little excitement while exploring the most epic mountains throughout this winter season. Steep is mostly online-focused and you can bump into other players if you simply enable the "Collide Feature".

The next title to join the lineup is survival action RPG game Portal Knights from developer Keen Games and publisher 505 Games. The in-game characters have a LEGO-like appearance and you might even notice the gameplay has similarities with Minecraft but it still is a fun play.

The game has a cooperative multiplayer where you can team up with up to three of your friends other than wandering alone on your own and that is one of the delightful experience the game has to offer aside from other role-playing aspects.

Portal Knights on PlayStation Plus Free Games

So, 2018 wasn't particularly bad for the commercially successful action-adventure game from developer Insomniac Games and publisher Sony Interactive. Things are going to get better by the end of the month as the third chapter of The City That Never Sleeps DLC series is coming on December 21.

The Heist DLC has introduced cat burglar and an old accomplice of the hero, Black Cat into the story, then super-villain Hammerhead and the Maggia came to light in Turf Wars and now Silver Lining brings back mercenary Silver Sable into the fray.

If you have completed the game by now, you have met her already and to give you more of her, Insomniac Games has given her a reason to come back. She goes after Hammerhead to retrieve stolen tech and weapons from Sable International.

Since Police Chief Yuri Watanabe is currently on administrative leave, Spidey has to deal with her alone. However, any help he can get from any unlikely allies to save New York from these complete nutjobs is much appreciated by the web-slinger.

Rumor has it that Sony will announce a release date for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding at The Game Awards 2018.

It all begin at the E3 2016, when former Digital Entertainment president of Konami, Hideo Kojima took the stage to reveal his upcoming action game project Death Stranding from his studio Kojima Productions and people who know of his work lost their minds.

He also revealed that the game is going to be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and will be a PlayStation 4-exclusive. No official release date has been given so far for the game but rumors are suggesting an announcement on that with new footage is on the way.

After shooting down the possibility of attending E3 2019, Sony opted out from this year's PlayStation Experience claiming they don't have enough to show off even though they have both Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima in development.

According to Brazilian website Combo Infinito, they have learned from someone close to Sony Brazil that Sony may showcase trailers for the above-mentioned titles at The Game Awards 2018 and reveal release dates for the games.

None of these buzz brings any absolute evidence to the table but it's not like Sony ever made such big announcements during a show like this and given the relationship Geoff Keighley of The Game Awards has with Kojima, it wouldn't be shocking if Sony does so.

From the very moment of revealing back in 2016, Hideo Kojima has kept the story of Death Stranding as a mystery to everyone. However, that never stopped people from theorizing about it. Do you really think that Sony would announce the game's official release date at The Game Awards 2018?
